Vote for local project – On the Waterfront
Local charity, the Floating Classroom’s project On the Waterfront is through to the final of the People’s Millions! They are about to go head-to-head with one other project in a public vote. The winner has their project funded; the loser gets nothing.
If they win the project On the Waterfront will provide film-making workshops for children at four schools in North Westminster, including Edward Wilson School in Westbourne. The children will research the histories of their neighbourhoods and the canals that run through it and then shoot short films based on these stories. They will try their hand at script-writing, scenery-making, performing, sound recording and filming. The project will culminate in a community premiere to celebrate the children’s achievements.
A TV feature about On the Waterfront will be shown on ITV’s London Tonight on TUESDAY 23 NOVEMBER between 6-6.30pm. Phone lines open at 9am and close at midnight on Tuesday 23 November.
You can vote 10 times from every phone line that you have. From a BT line it costs 10p per call which is a total £1.00 for 10 votes – a very small price for victory!
The telephone number to vote will be released on the morning of the 23 November– to find the number please check the website www.beauchamplodge.co.uk or https://www.peoplesmillions.org.uk/2010-finalists/london/on-the-waterfront on 23 November.
Alternatively you can register to vote and will be sent the number to call on the morning of the 23 November.
